Single versus double lung transplantation outcomes in artificial stone silicosis: a single-centre retrospective cohort study Open
Background Silicosis, caused by inhaling crystalline silica, is a growing global health concern exacerbated by the increased use of artificial stone. In end-stage silicosis, lung transplantation may be the only available treatment. While d…

Pulmonary diffusing capacity among individuals recovering from mild to moderate COVID-19: a cross-sectional study Open
Impaired pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) following COVID-19 has been consistently reported among individuals recovering from severe-critical infection. However, most long COVID cases follow non-severe COVID-19. We a…

Characteristics of lung cancer in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis with single lung transplant versus non-transplanted patients: a retrospective observational study Open
Background Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have significantly higher incidence of lung cancer (LC) relative to the general population. There is a further increase in LC incidence in patients with IPF subsequent to lung tr…
